BROMHEXINE

 BROMHEXINE


BRAND NAME:- BROMHEXINE 8mg tablet,4mg/5ml elixer.

BROMHEXINE is a derivative of the alkaloids vasicine obtained from Adhatoda vasica (Vaska), is a potent mucolytic and mucokinetic , capable of inducing thin copious bronchial secertion.

PHARMACODYNAMIC:-
Bromhexine thins airway secretions, improving breathing and discomfort associated with thick mucus in airways associated with a variety of respiratory conditions .

MECHANISM OF ACTION:-
BROMHEXINE is a mucolytic agent that act on the mucus glands in the respiratory tract to change the structure of  bronchial secertion . It enhances the transport of  mucus by reducing its viscosity and increase cilia activity resulting in enhances mucocilliary clearance. This secretolytic and secretomotor effects in the bronchial tract  facilitates expectoration and relives  cough.

USED:-
Bromhexine is used in the treatment of respiratory tract disorders associated with viscid mucus. 

SIDE EFFECTS:-

Dizziness, Headache, Nausea, Upper abdominal pain, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Rash, Red spots or bumps, Itching, Sweating, Changes in serum aminotransferase levels

DOSE:- Adults 8mg TDS, children 1-5 years 4mg BD ,5-10yeras 4mg TDS.

Chlorthalidone Uses, Side Effects, and More....

 Chlorthalidone  Brand name:- Hythalton 50,100mg , Hydrazide, Thalizide ( 12.5, 25) . Chlorthalidone is a diuretic which lowers blood pressure by removing extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Pharmacodynamic:- Not 🚫 available.  Pharmacokinetics:- Chlortalidone is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral ingestion. It has a long half-life and therefore a prolonged diuretic action, which results in continued diuretic effects despite a skipped dose. This prolonged action of chlortalidone despite missing doses may account for the higher efficacy of chlortalidone compared to the shorter half-life medication, hydrochlorothiazide. Chlortalidone is eliminated from the body mostly by the kidney, as unchanged drug. Thus, in persons with diminished kidney function, the clearance of chlortalidone is reduced and the elimination half-life is increased. As with other thiazide diuretics, ch...

Captopril Uses, Side Effects, and More

 Captopril Brand name:- Angiopril 25mg tab, Aceten, Captopril 12.5, 25mg tab. Captopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It works by reducing stress on the heart and relaxing blood vessel so that blood flows more smoothly and the heart can pump blood more efficiently. Pharmacodynamic:-  Captopril, an ACE inhibitor, antagonizes the effect of the RAAS. The RAAS is a homeostatic mechanism for regulating hemodynamics, water and electrolyte balance. During sympathetic stimulation or when renal blood pressure or blood flow is reduced, renin is released from the granular cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus in the kidneys. In the blood stream, renin cleaves circulating angiotensinogen to ATI, which is subsequently cleaved to ATII by ACE. ATII increases blood pressure using a number of mechanisms. First, it stimulates the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone travels to the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting tubule of nephrons w...
